This is Japanese Arita/Hizen porcelain by Hichōzan Shinpō, and it is highly likely to be an authentic piece dating from the second half of the 19th century. I would date this particular vessel to approximately 1860–1880, with the 1860s–1870s being the most probable period.
Condition : there are some defects please see the photos.
Inscription on the base
The red overglaze inscription is written in two vertical columns, read from right to left:
肥碟山 信甫造
Hichōzan Shinpō zō
The inscription can be broken down as follows:
肥碟山 — Hichōzan
信甫 — Shinpō
造 — zō / tsukuru, meaning “made” or “manufactured.”
The literal translation is therefore:
“Made by Hichōzan Shinpō.”
Importantly, the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna records precisely this form of the mark, 肥碟山信甫造, on an Arita porcelain object in its museum collection, which the museum dates to the third quarter of the 19th century.
Even more significant is historical documentation published by the town of Arita itself, which provides a more precise date for the introduction of this mark: in 1856, Tashiro Monzaemon (田代紋左衛門) began using the inscription 肥碟山信甫造 on porcelain intended for overseas markets.
